The Ethereum network is very much avoided by people nowadays, because the gas fees for their transactions are quite insane, for bounty hunters this is the most avoided network for now, but strangely this network is still very big and strong for now, personally I also still wonder why this can happen, even though the cost of gas per transaction in their network is very expensive, it is better to avoid transactions on this network, because there are many other networks that are cheaper and more affordable
ETH isn’t getting avoided by the masses at all, it’s just getting avoided by the small fries like us that couldn’t bear the massive gas fee required for ETH because it’s quite literally being flooded with all the NFT arts activities.
you see these NFT activities are always spending such tremendous amount of money for just the gas fee alone that it literally triggers the massive dramatic increases of gas fee in the platform.
the moment ETH is getting avoided by the masses is the moment its high gas fee mess getting solved in by itself so this statement in regard of ETH avoidance by the masses is more or less wrong.
The problem that has always bothered me about the ethereum network is that it is dependent on the new hype in order to be that busy, in the case of bitcoin even if we know that it can also become incredibly busy and expensive when the bull market is in full swing, a great deal of that also comes from people that are actually using bitcoin for stuff they need and they are not just speculating with other coins, however in the case of ethereum very few people are actually using it that way, and if this does not change then ethereum could eventually lose its place as the second most important coin in the market.
